Duck Through a Window

Driving around Old Lyme I see lots of things that make me think, "That would make a nice photograph." Fortunately for me, I often have a camera so I can test my theory. Here are a few shots I snapped from the window of my car. I pulled off on a side road and shut the engine off for a few minutes as I watched a couple of ducks enjoying a seasonal pond created by Spring rains, some of which began to fall while I was thus engaged.

 

 

 
This hen is a bit tougher to see than her mate.

 
This drake was holding a stick in his bill and using it to preen himself when he wasn't shaking water from his back.
